Abstract: (arXiv)
Azimuthal single-spin asymmetries of lepto-produced pions and charged kaons were measured on a transversely polarized hydrogen target. Evidence for a naive-T-odd, transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution function is deduced from non-vanishing Sivers effects for pi+, pi0, and K+, K-, as well as in the difference of the pi+ and pi- cross sections.Note:
